Dear Mr. Collins:
Thank
you for contacting me to express your support for the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) 2015 Open Internet Order. I share your
belief in the need for strong net neutrality.
The
new FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, recently announced the Trump administration’s
plan to dismantle the Obama-era FCC rules that required Internet service
providers like AT&T and Comcast to treat all internet traffic fairly.
This would unravel net neutrality and the FCC is moving in the wrong
direction. It will neither invigorate our economy nor spark innovation.
Instead, it will limit choices for consumers and greatly increase costs for
American start-ups. Keeping the internet open is critical to twenty-first
century freedom and innovation, for both businesses and individuals alike.
In
2014, I joined my Senate colleagues in writing a letter to then-FCC
Chairman Tom Wheeler urging him to adopt strong net neutrality. I will
continue to press the Trump administration to support a free and open
internet and maintain critical consumer protections.
I
believe the federal government can help ensure that all American households
have reliable internet access at a reasonable cost, and will continue to
fight for protection of net neutrality.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please keep in touch with your
thoughts and opinions.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Schumer
United States Senator
